Marsha is a sweet and sensitive soul who may be a little shy at first—but give her a bit of time, and you’ll discover a social, silly, and snuggly companion underneath. Once she feels safe, her playful personality really blossoms, and she loves being close to her favorite people.
Marsha is a big fan of treats and enjoys training sessions, especially when they come with tasty rewards and praise. She thrives on positive reinforcement and is eager to build confidence.
New environments can make her a bit nervous, so she’ll need a gentle introduction to her new home and routine. With patience, understanding, Marsha is sure to become a loyal and devoted companion.

This handsome fella is Ghost, a 7 year old husky who’d love to add a little excitement to your life! Ghost is a big foodie, and loves to go on long, sniffy walks in the world, so he could make a great adventure buddy once he’s had some time to settle in, but he won’t say no to settling down afterwards to take a nap or work on a nice chew stick or frozen kong!
We don’t have a lot of history on Ghost, but know that he wasn’t regularly meeting or interacting with strangers and had a hard time living with other dogs. Ghost will do best with an adopter who’s ready to help him continue his training journey using positive reinforcement methods, and he says no thank you to living with other animals right now!
In order to best set Ghost and his adopters up for success, please note that Ghost is not a same-day adoption.
Ghost has been through a few transitions recently, and may need a gentle start, but once he feels secure, he’ll reward you with endless love and loyalty!
Stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center to meet Ghost. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.
Billie is a smushy young pittie mix looking for her new home! This sweet kiddo likes to hit the trails to explore and sniff around, and loves to wrap it all up with some snacks and couch time with her people. Bille can be a bit reserved at first when making new friends, but warms up quickly and is looking for a patient family who can give an adopted dog some time to decompress in the new home. Billie has had a hard time meeting dogs in her short life, so she would prefer to be the only dog of the family!
Billie’s a dog with a heart as big as her size, so her greetings can be a little on the rude side – potential adopters should be prepared to help her learn how to get someone’s attention without jumping on them! Luckily she is a foodie, and loves to train using positive reinforcement methods.
This sweet, smushy girl has been through a few transitions recently, and may need a gentle start, but once she feels secure, she’ll reward you with endless love and loyalty!

Meet Huey! Huey is an eager learner who has been through several transitions in his short life.

Meet Chloe! This girly might be shy at first, but quickly blossoms into a friendly and playful buddy. She spent some time in a foster home before joining us at the MSPCA, where she enjoyed hanging out with her people and playing with toys of all kinds (stuffies beware – she’s a shredder!).

She’ll thrive with an adopter who’s excited about training using positive reinforcement, and able to manage some frustration while they workshop her space.

Meet Parker! This 5 year old pup loves sniffy walks with his favorite people, but also enjoys settling in at the end of the day with a friend on the couch. Parker can find meeting new people, changes to the environment, and people or dogs walking by the house to be a bit scary! He is looking for a quiet, low traffic home with someone to help him build his confidence and expand his world at his pace.
He does have some medical needs related to chronic skin concerns and allergies, so he is looking for an adopter with a solid vet relationship.
Parker could potentially go home with a well matched dog friend, or a dog-savvy cat companion, with full separation to start and a slow introduction.
Stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center to meet Parker. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.
Meet Arthur, a 3 year old Husky with a heart full of potential. We have limited history on him, but know that he was living in a bubble, meaning he was not meeting strangers or other dogs, and is very fearful as a result–Arthur can be shy and uncertain of the world around him, but with patience and a gentle approach to training, he is learning that the world is not so scary.
As Arthur has an abnormal background, he is looking for an adopter who can offer him a calm, low-traffic environment where he can continue to grow and learn. He will need someone who’s ready to teach him all the basics, such as housebreaking, walking on a leash, and general manners, using positive reinforcement training (Arthur loves snacks and is very smart, so he’s a great training buddy!). As Arthur is worried and has a lot he’s working on, he says no thank you to living with other pets for now, please!
Stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center to meet Arthur. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.

This active girl lives to play and is as smart as she is food-motivated, which means she learns fast and enjoys training when treats are involved.

She would benefit from having stable, playful, and tolerant adult dog friends, either in her home or among regular friends and family.

Sunshine truly lives up to her name. She’s a big, bright personality with so much love to give, and she enjoys being right in the middle of the action with her people. After some recent changes, she started out a little shy in the shelter, but it didn’t take long for her playful, affectionate side to shine through.

Sunshine has big feelings about the volume of other dogs here at the shelter, and is looking for a home where she won’t be required to interact with other dogs. It’s a big ask, but when she looks at you with those gorgeous hazel eyes like you’re the only person in the world, you’ll know she’s worth it. If you’re excited about positive reinforcement training and are searching for your other half, Sunshine might be the girl for you!

Meet Daisy! Their favorite things are sniffy walks, walks with friends, and treats (she loves chicken!) . Daisy is a bit reserved at first, but warms up quickly and is looking for a patient family who can give an adopted dog some time to decompress in the new home. Daisy enjoys a good walk like any dog, but definitely likes to settle in at the end of the day. Daisy has enjoyed spending time around other mellow dogs at the shelter, so we think they may do well with a canine sibling that is comfortable with a more calm friend.
Daisy adores their people and prefers to stick close, so they`ll need a little help feeling secure when left alone. The good news? Youll always have a devoted, loving shadow by your side!

Meet Chucky! He’s a smart, active, silly guy who loves training and sniffy walks. Chucky is a foodie, and will happily settle down with a long-lasting chew after a nice walk or game of fetch. He walks great on leash with a harness, and enjoys zooming around our yards with his dog or human friends. Chucky has had mixed experiences with other dogs, and generally does well during supervised play but should ideally be the only dog in the home. If you’re excited about positive reinforcement training, have a good sense of humor, and don’t mind a bark that sounds *exactly* like a seal, Chucky could be the dog for you!
If you think Chucky could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Nevins Farm Adoption Center in Methuen. We have open adoption hours Tuesday – Sunday from 12:00 pm – 4:30 pm with no appointment or application needed.

Blueberry is a young, active dog with a love for toys, play and being around his people. Unfortunately, Blueberry was diagnosed with a suspected torn CCL (like an ACL in humans!) and may need surgery. This surgery is pretty major, and recovery in a shelter setting is less than ideal. Our hope is to get him into an adoptive home so he can receive follow up care with an orthopedic surgeon and have a comfortable spot to land.
Blueberry would need 8 weeks of careful recovery following surgery, so we are looking for an adopter with a quiet home who can commit to helping Blueberry recover and providing a predictable routine. Blueberry also has penchant for the finer things in life – counter surfing, chewing, and going on unsupervised neighborhood strolls, so we are prepared to support an adopter with guidance for keeping Blueberry safe and providing extra enrichment activities to keep his brain satisfied. He is going to require short leash walks, and would need to be carefully managed around other dogs in the home, at least to start – he is playful by nature and can become quite frustrated when seeing other dogs he can’t play with, and we want to make sure he won’t re-injure his leg!
If you love working on brain games with dogs, have a fondness for land seals, and are up for helping Blueberry get through a tough injury – come meet him today! We promise you’ll be rewarded with a lot of goofy play, the biggest smiles, and a whole lotta love.
*MSPCA will cover the initial cost of surgery, however, we do expect that Blueberry will need additional medical support down the road, so an adopter should be prepared to financially support his medical needs in the future*
Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Blueberry. We have open adoption hours 7 days a week from 11:30am-5pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.

Meet the beautiful Xena. Xena’s our senior lady in the shelter right now, and she’s ready to find the perfect match to enjoy her golden years! Xena was described as a snuggly velcro dog in her previous home, and once she is settled into her new environment we have no doubt she will show that side of herself again. Xena is very sensitive and is oftentimes worried in new situations. She is looking for a family that can let her get comfortable at her pace and not put any additional pressure on her. This sweet girl’s dream home is somewhere where she can lay in a big comfy bed and get snuggles from her favorite people. It may be possible that she can live with another low energy dog, but a meet on campus beforehand would be most beneficial.
Stop by our Boston Adoption Center to meet Xena. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm - 3pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.
Meet Reba! Their favorite things are people and treats. Reba is a happy, bouncy, and super wiggly pup, looking for a family to bring endless joy!
